If Langdon is ok, no change. Weid took his chances and even melk laid a tackle or two.

    So it was Langdon?   Subbed off in the dying minutes?  

    IF so then they must surely think has a 2 week injury.

    Would be a huge out.  Who would replace him on a wing?  Maybe Hunt??

    But as to changes -  Melksham mostly bog ordinary but it takes a lot to have him dropped.

     

    looked like a dislocated finger? maybe, if i was to guess

    changes: 

    OUT: Hunt

    IN: Bowey/Lockhart

    its tight for spots you have to play well to stay in. and you'd think we're ok for finals from here so why not see what one of these boys have got in them. weid would have been in the gun first half but got on the end of a few later on

    Hunt is part of the back 6 that is absolutely humming and he gave JJ from the dogs an absolute bath tonight

    We just played our most complete game of the season against a team most predicted to beat us, on a ground they dont lose at.

    So, pending Langdon... NO CHANGE!

    Absolutely.  Hunt was also important.  Played his role.

    A few struggled at times (Weideman, Jackson, Hunt, Melksham) but no one played so badly to warrant being dropped IMO.

    No change unless injury.

    (if Langdon's out next week vs Brisbane that will hurt, big time).

    jj's not a forward, just been shoved there to fit him in, don't think he really challenged hunt to defend him at all. hunt definitely didnt do anything the other two boys couldn't do and on current form i'd back them to offer more offensively this week. if it doesn't pay off in a couple weeks theres always the option to reverse it. but we need to keep the senior boys accountable and show the guys below that if you're in form we will reward you

    JJ has been going very well

    Out: Weid, Langdon (if injured)
    In: B.Brown, Baker

    In some ways I'd like to keep Weid in to build his confidence, but at the same time it's important to drive standards, and Brown deserves a chance to build confidence in the 1s as well. Looking forward, Viney comes into this team but I have no idea at who's expense.

    No change unless Viney is ok, but I have no idea who to drop to let him in.

    Not convinced by the Wied, but no changes.

    agree to disagree ?, would be lucky to make their full strength side imo when dunkley, treloar, vandemeer, mclean, wood are fit

    Id drop weed.

    But I admit I may not be very objective.

    Backed the dees over 39 points.

    He shanked a shot to make it 42 points. Then his next two kicks, both of which should have set up scoring shots, were dead set clangers.

    Id still drop him. One tackle. And 10 half jogs and coraaling.

    Four possessions is rubbish.

    Sure 3 goals, but 2 were gifts. And he dropped mutiple marks that he should have swallowed

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
